    Whats in your rat cage?

    I breed mostly feeder rats so I have quite a few. All are treated like pets and cuddled daily. I'm also a snake & lizard addict, hence the feeder breeding. Once by 2 1/2 weeks grow up I'm going to also be starting lined pet rats

    Anyways...
    Whats in YOUR rat cage?

    I have:
    *Note: All of my rexes are Velveteens, some fluffier than others xD

    Males-
    GusGus - Agouti Rex Berk, about 6-7 weeks old now. Happily breeding already. Right now he's living in a separate cage with Spooky until the other boys are weaned. He's a real sweetheart, loves to cuddle.
    NoName - Black Rex Berk w/ wedge blaze, 2 1/2 weeks, future stud/pet
    NoName2 - Himalayan/Cream/Siamese Rex (to early to tell), 2 1/2 weeks, future stud/pet
    NonName3 - Black Rex w/ white socks. 1/2 weeks, future stud/pet. (this guy is REALLY handsome, he has one of the most beautiful glossy black coats I have ever seen)

    Females -
    Breeders --
    Spooky - Himalayan
    Boo - Himalayan
    Casper - Himalayan
    Jezebel - Silver Black Berk, standard ear, satin
    Crutches - Black Rex English Irish

    Future Breeders --
    NN - Black (pos. berk) Rex w/ stripe. 2 1/2 weeks.
    NM - Agouti (pos. berk) Rex w/ stripe. 2 1/2 weeks.
    The rest of the 2 1/2 week NoNames - Black Rex Berks, Self, & pos. English Irish. I'm to lazy to count xD

    6 1/2 Week NoNames -
    (11) Berk, Self, & pos. English Irish Rex Agouti.
    (2) Black Rex Berks
    (1) Rex Himalayan

    Oddballs -
    I can't remember if these guys were all out of the same litter or two different litters. But here's how it went:
    Birth: Looked Himalayan
    About 1 week or so - Cream hooded markings
    1 1/2 weeks - Still looking like pretty cream hoodeds
    2 weeks - Still cream hoodeds
    2 1/2 weeks - Markings lightening around the noses
    3 weeks - Hard to distinguish Himalayan (currently white) from Creams
    3 1/2 weeks - Hooded markings. In lavender?!. Seriously, they looked like a light pinkish purple. No pictures, unfortunately.
    4 weeks - Still looking lavanderish.
    4 1/2 weeks - No more lavender. More of a creamish color again.
    5 weeks - Creams hoodeds have a cream colored coat, Himalayan is a pretty bright white. No more hooded markings.

    Weirdest thing ever. o-o'


    Another note:
    All the 2 1/2 weeks are out of Crutches and by a Black Rex Dumbo Berk w/ wedge blaze
    All the 6-7 weeks are by Spooky, Boo, and Casper and by 'Frank' a kindasorta black eyed Hairless.

    I no longer have the Dumbo or the Hairless. The Hairless killed the Dumbo and then was promptly rehomed :/ I couldn't risk him killing any future stud pups.
